Very good. Not for anybody that wants to rush from camp to camp or sighting to sighting.

I saw a concrete "plinth" road sign under construction along the H14 in Sept , are these the roads being referred to ?

I am convinced you see more of the "small special" game on quieter roads , also that one saw more early morning specials when there were less cars .

KNP is sacred.I am opposed to the modernisation of Kruger and from the depths of my soul long for the Kruger of yesteryear! 1000+km on foot in KNP incl 56 wild trails.200+ nights in the wildernessndloti-indigenous name for serval.

I drove the one that takes you to the viewpoint over Letaba river on Sunday morning on the way out of the KNP . The solitude is most impressive . Saw a brand new giraffe still with umbilical cord .Saw only two other high ground clearance vehicles . Sedan cars will get in trouble after more heavy rain .Scipio , I think keep your spade ready .

One can get a map of these roads at the Phalaborwa Gate. The roads are called Category D roads. According to the map, the total distance is 54km.

I did a few of them. They have a different atmosphere about them. It is like driving on a farm road. You can’t be in a hurry, because the going is slow. There are lots of speed humps to prevent the roads from water damage during downpours. I did them in a Corsa Utility, which handled the roads perfectly well. I won’t do it when the roads are wet.

The sightings were not good, but I did them during the hot hours of the day. Birding is good though. I will definitely do it again, but if you have to travel between camps, I won’t recommend them.

Road between H9 & H 14View over Letaba river , not far from Shimuwini .

We did the one that goes between the S131, and the H9, near the Shivhulani hill and it was better conditon than the S131 itself!! Saw no other traffic, not much in the way of animals, long grass, but lots of birds.

The only low maintenance roads in KNP are those close to Phalaborwa .The type of terrain in the area is probably more suitable - it appears they require less maintenance - have a look on google earth .
